“It’s good to get Pat,Greg and Siua back as it’s going to be a real test for the team this week. The Brumbies in Canberra is one of the toughest challenges in rugby and history tells us we don’t perform that well there so we will need to be on our game” said Brown.

While Tomkinson will be playing his first match Aaron Smith will be playing his 99th and look set to bring up his 100th next week against the Rebels.
